Flood Awareness

Many residents of Westchester County have experienced the damages that flooding can produce.

It's important to remember that Spring is the time of year when flooding can occur quickly and without much warning. Spring rains and winter snow and ice thaws can cause flooding and affect homes, property and, most importantly, personal safety.

The New York State Office of Emergency Management (NYS OEM) joins the National Weather Service offices serving New York State in observance of Flood Awareness Week every year in March. We are sharing with Westchester County residents the extensive tips that the NYS OEM has put together on what to do to prepare, how to stay safe, and where to find help in the event of a flood.
